The exact workflow we recommend to ESL teachers: 3 tools, 4 prompts, one printable lesson in 9 minutes. With screenshots.

Lesson planning eats 6–10 hours a week for ESL teachers. AI cuts that to 1 hour without sacrificing quality — if you know which prompts to use. Here’s the workflow.

Minute 1: Define the lesson

One sentence: "B1 teens, 45 min, topic = social media addiction." That’s your input.

Minutes 2–4: Generate the spine

Open the lesson-plan generator. Paste your input. You get back: warmup, vocab list, reading passage, 8 comprehension questions, discussion prompts, exit ticket.
